This Thing Called Love

Monday at 6 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Variety Channel

The vision we have for This Thing Called Love is to encourage, enrich and empower you to answer one of life’s most complicated questions: What is this thing called Love? By creating a non-judgmental space for people from all walks of life (everyday people to experts, celebrities and everyone in between) to share open and honestly about their experiences and beliefs, we will uncover the truths and myths about this basic human need to love and be loved. Tune in to This Thing Called Love, every Monday at 6 AM Pacific Time on the VoiceAmerica Variety Channel.

Devon Berger and Jamel Davenport

Devon and Jamel are kindred spirits of sorts. They both began their careers as social workers and went on to become Certified Professional Coaches. They both completed courses at Landmark Education and the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching.

While Devon and Jamel share similar passion for guiding people to living the most successful, fulfilling lives, their approaches and experiences are quite different. In some ways, they represent the yin and yang energy that reflects the concept of this show, which is to explore all viewpoints, beliefs and experiences related to this thing called love in order to illuminate its mysterious nature.

Professionally, Jamel’s forte is “in your face” motivation for both mind and body. Through his work as the CEO of The Mad Lifestyle, Jamel has helped countless people achieve personal health and fitness goals. Additionally, he conducts one-on-one life coaching sessions where he empowers clients to overcome life’s obstacles. Personally, Jamel is currently an eligible bachelor in “this thing called love.”

Devon uses a more nurturing, spiritual approach with her clients. Her focus as the CEO of Devon Berger Coaching is primarily helping people create and build lasting, healthy relationships based on the philosophy that relationship building is an art form that requires effort and practice like anything else. Personally, Devon is happily married and enjoying the most rewarding relationship with her husband.
